Improve Dragoon DPS. WEAK in comparison to other DPS

[EasymodeX]

Keep in mind that a ID combo, for instance, is only worth ~25% more potency than a Thrust combo in the first place.

IDC: 180 + 220 + 200 + 300 = 900 raw p
TTT: 150 + 200 + 330 = 680 raw p

IDC does 32% more raw potency than TTT.

The DE debuff is worth 11% for direct damage. Direct damage comprises ~88% of DRG damage output. Roughly 9.7% damage per second is lost, which equates to roughly 22 potency lost per second.

So every time you drop IDC and use TTT instead, you lose roughly 382 total potency.

This assumes you accurately predict/prep for the shift to TTT in place of IDC. If you misfired the Impulse Drive, you lose an additional 150 potency (250 average action potency per GCD minus a misfired 100p ID).

So mandatory loss of 382, penalty loss of 150.

TLDR: if the DRG misfires ID, they lose 150p. A MNK who misfires loses 40-50p.

If the DRG switches to TTT after misfiring, they lose 532p.

If a DRG switches without misfiring, they lose 382p.

MNKs lose 40-50p per misfire.
